In hindsight, I would not have bought the My Cloud Home. I had purchased this to, among other things, store photos and videos of vacations in 1 location and share it with my girlfriend. And for easy viewing on TV or iPad. However, it is not possible to give others permanent access to files (folder sharing). In my opinion, this is a core functionality of a NAS that the MCH unfortunately lacks. It is a pity that this is not explicitly stated on the WD or Coolblue website. Because well after the 30-day reflection period, I now find out via the WD forum (after some confusion from WD) that this functionality will never be included in the MCH, because the product is not intended for that. I now see the device as a fairly worthless product and I have resigned myself to looking for an alternative in the long run. So sorry for the investment. Somehow I still have a little hope that WD will optimize the functionalities of the device.

An excellent product for laymen and inexperienced users. HOWEVER - if you want more in terms of management and configuration then nothing is possible. You could fully manage and manage the "old" MyCloud and I expected the same from the successor. Unfortunately, there is no mention anywhere that this is a "simple" NAS.
